- Exosomes (diameter 30-200 nm) are a subtype of extracellular vesicles secreted by cells containing DNA, microRNA (miRNA), and proteins. Exosomes are expected to be valuable as a means of delivering drugs or functional miRNAs in treatment of diseases. However, the delivery of exosomes is not sufficiently effective, even though exosomes have intrinsic delivery functions. Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptide families that facilitate cellular intake of molecules and vesicles. We previously reported that the modification of cells, and liposomes with CPP-conjugated-lipids, CPPs conjugated with poly (ethylene glycol)-conjugated phospholipids (PEG-lipid), that induce adhesion by CPPs, can be useful for cell-based assays and harvesting liposomes. In this study, we aimed to modulate the exosome surface using Tat peptide (YGRKKRRQRRR)-PEG-lipids to improve intracellular delivery to endothelial cells. We isolated and characterized exosomes from the medium of HEK 293 T cell cultures. Tat conjugated PEG -lipids with different spacer molecular weights and lipid types were incorporated into exosomes using fluorescein isothiocyanate labeling to optimize the number of Tat-PEG-lipids immobilized on the exo-some surface. The exosomes modified with Tat-PEG-lipids were incubated with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to study the interaction. Tat conjugated with 5 kDa PEG and C16 lipids incorporated on the exosome surface were highly detected inside HUVECs by flow cytometry. Fluores-cence was negligible in HUVECs for control groups. Thus, Tat-PEG-lipids can be modified on the exosome surface, improving the intracellular delivery of exosomes.(c) 2022, The Japanese Society for Regenerative Medicine.

- Parathyroid hormone (PTH) seems to affect the risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate PTH's acute effect on endothelial vasodilatory function in forearm resistance vessels. Ten healthy subjects underwent forearm venous occlusion plethysmography. We measured forearm blood flow at baseline and at a stable, locally increased PTH level after intra-arterial infusion of metacholine and nitroprusside. The contralateral arm served as a control. Ionized calcium (Ca++) and PTH values were normal in all subjects at baseline (1.26 ± 0.02 mM/L, 3.6 ± 1.2 pM/L). After 30 minutes of PTH infusion, the PTH level increased in the active arm (13.8 ± 4.0 pM/L P < 0.01), while the Ca++ level was unchanged (1.25 ± 0.04; mM/L). Both the PTH and the Ca++ level in the contralateral arm remained unchanged, which indicates no systemic influence. The endothelial-dependent vasodilation was inversely correlated to the Ca++ level at baseline (r = −0.75, P < 0.05) and after PTH infusion (r = −0.68, P < 0.05). The vasodilatory function was not affected during PTH-infusion.

- Background: X-linked hypophosphataemia in children is characterised by elevated serum concentrations of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), hypophosphataemia, rickets, lower extremity bowing, and growth impairment. We compared the efficacy and safety of continuing conventional therapy, consisting of oral phosphate and active vitamin D, versus switching to burosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGF23, in paediatric X-linked hypophosphataemia.Methods: In this randomised, active-controlled, open-label, phase 3 trial at 16 clinical sites, we enrolled children with X-linked hypophosphataemia aged 1-12 years. Key eligibility criteria were a total Thacher rickets severity score of at least 2.0, fasting serum phosphorus lower than 0.97 mmol/L (3.0 mg/dL), confirmed PHEX (phosphate-regulating endopep-tidase homolog, X-linked) mutation or variant of unknown significance in the patient or a family member with appropriate X-linked dominant inheritance, and receipt of conventional therapy for at least 6 consecutive months for children younger than 3 years or at least 12 consecutive months for children older than 3 years. Eligible patients were randomly assigned (1: 1) to receive either subcutaneous burosumab starting at 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks (burosumab group) or conventional therapy prescribed by investigators (conventional therapy group). Both interventions lasted 64 weeks. The primary endpoint was change in rickets severity at week 40, assessed by the Radiographic Global Impression of Change global score. All patients who received at least one dose of treatment were included in the primary and safety analyses. The trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02915705.Findings: Recruitment took place between Aug 3, 2016, and May 8, 2017. Of 122 patients assessed, 61 were enrolled. Of these, 32 (18 girls, 14 boys) were randomly assigned to continue receiving conventional therapy and 29 (16 girls, 13 boys) to receive burosumab. For the primary endpoint at week 40, patients in the burosumab group had significantly greater improvement in Radiographic Global Impression of Change global score than did patients in the conventional therapy group (least squares mean +1.9 [SE 0.1] with burosumab vs +0.8 [0.1] with conventional therapy; difference 1.1, 95% CI 0.8-1.5; p<0.0001). Treatment-emergent adverse events considered possibly, probably, or definitely related to treatment by the investigator occurred more frequently with burosumab (17 [59%] of 29 patients in the burosumab group vs seven [22%] of 32 patients in the conventional therapy group). Three serious adverse events occurred in each group, all considered unrelated to treatment and resolved.Interpretation: Significantly greater clinical improvements were shown in rickets severity, growth, and biochemistries among children with X-linked hypophosphataemia treated with burosumab compared with those continuing conventional therapy.

- PURPOSE: In an open label, randomized, controlled, phase 3 trial in 61 children 1 to 12 years old with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), burosumab improved rickets versus continuing conventional therapy with active vitamin D and phosphate. Here, we conducted an analysis to determine whether skeletal responses differed when switching to burosumab versus continuing higher or lower doses of conventional therapy.METHODS: Conventional therapy dose groups were defined as: higher dose phosphate >40 mg/kg [HPi], lower dose phosphate ≤40 mg/kg [LPi], higher dose alfacalcidol >60 ng/kg or calcitriol >30 ng/kg [HD], and lower dose alfacalcidol ≤60 ng/kg or calcitriol ≤30 ng/kg [LD].RESULTS: At Week 64, the Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C) for rickets was higher (better) in children randomized to burosumab versus conventional therapy for all pre-baseline dose groups: HPi (+1.72 versus +0.67), LPi (+2.14 versus +1.08), HD (+1.90 versus +0.94), LD (+2.11 versus +1.06). At Week 64, the RGI-C for rickets was also higher in children randomized to burosumab (+2.06) versus conventional therapy for all on-study dose groups: HPi (+1.03), LPi (+1.05), HD (+1.45), LD (+0.72). Serum alkaline phosphatase also decreased in the burosumab treated patients more than in the conventional therapy group, regardless of on-study phosphate and active vitamin D doses.MAIN CONCLUSIONS: Prior phosphate or active vitamin D doses did not influence treatment response after switching to burosumab among children with XLH and active radiographic rickets. Switching from conventional therapy to burosumab improved rickets and serum alkaline phosphatase more than continuing either higher or lower doses of phosphate or active vitamin D.

- Parathyroid lipoadenomas (PLAs) are rare tumors, and case descriptions are limited, < 80 to date. As a consequence, scarce information regarding the etiology of these enigmatic lesions is available. We searched our departmental pathology database for PLAs diagnosed between 1992 and 2020, reexamined the histology of each case, and recorded clinical parameters from the patients’ medical charts. As the diagnostic criteria of this lesion vary over this time period, we defined PLA as an enlarged parathyroid gland with > 50% fat on histologic examination with preoperative evidence of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). A total of 8 bona fide PLA cases and 2 equivocal PLAs (close to 50% fat) were included. As approximately 4000 conventional parathyroid adenomas were diagnosed at our department during the same time interval, the prevalence of PLA was 0.20%. PLA patients were predominately female (63%) and presented with classical PHPT-related symptoms. Majority of cases were successfully located preoperatively and had an average tumor weight of 445 mg. Histologically, all PLAs consisted of > 50% mature adipose tissue, except a single case with brown fat. Of note, PLA patients exhibited a body mass index in line with PHPT patients in general, but a relatively high, near-significant prevalence of arterial hypertension was observed when compared to tumors with less fat (P = 0.0584). Future studies on this finding might be warranted. To summarize, we present one of the largest institutional PLA case series to date, and conclude that PLAs are rare, sporadic tumors mirroring many clinical aspects of conventional adenomas—with a potential coupling to hypertension worthy of follow-up studies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to analyze dental comorbidities in untreated primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Patients with pHPT subjected to parathyroidectomy (PTX) at Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, during 2011–2016 (n = 982) were selected from the Scandinavian Quality Register of Thyroid, Parathyroid and Adrenal surgery and compared to a general population cohort (n = 2944), matched for age and gender. Dental data was obtained from the Swedish Dental Health Registry for the 3 years prior to PTX. The incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of tooth loss by extraction, periodontal interventions, and dental visit rate were analyzed by Poisson regression models. In order to analyze the impact of disease severity, the PHPT cohort was sub-grouped based on preoperative serum levels of ionized calcium (S-Ca2+). The total number of tooth extractions, periodontal interventions, and number of visits were similar in the cohorts. PHPT patients belonging to the quartile with the highest S-Ca2+ (≥ 1.51 mmol/L) had increased risk for tooth extraction (IRR 1.85; 95% CI 1.39–2.46). Female gender independently amplified the risk (IRR 1.341, P < 0.027). This study indicates an association between pHPT and oral disorders reflected by increased tooth loss by extraction related to high S-Ca2. Increased awareness of dental comorbidity in primary hyperparathyroidism may benefit a large group of patients with a common disease through earlier detection and prevention.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In order to evaluate the link between primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and malignancies, cases subjected to parathyroid adenomectomy (PTX) during 1958–1997 in Sweden were identified by analyzing the National Swedish Cancer Registry. To minimize the influence of confounding by detection, cases with malignant disease diagnosed before or at the same time as pHPT or during the first year after PTX were excluded. Altogether 9782 cases (7642♀) were included and followed for up to 40 years. Thus, the study comprises 89 571 person-years of observation. The incidence of malignancies was compared with that in the Swedish population standardized for age, sex, and calendar year. An increased overall incidence of cancer was demonstrated in both genders (standardized incidence ratio (SIR) 1.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.35–1.52). This remain unchanged beyond 15 years after PTX. Breast cancer contributed a quarter of the cancer incidence in women (SIR 1.44, 95% CI 1.25–1.62). An increased risk of kidney (SIR 2.40, 95% CI 1.72–3.25), colonic (SIR 1.46, 95% CI 1.19–1.77), and squamous cell skin cancer (SIR 2.79, 95% CI 2.25–3.43) was found in both genders. The risk of endocrine and pancreas cancer was increased in the minority of patients who had their PTX before the age of 40. We conclude that pHPT is associated with an increased risk of developing malignancies that persists even after PTX. This suggests a causal disassociation with the biochemical derangements caused by parathyroid adenoma, while potentially common etiological mechanisms may include genetic predisposition or acquired disability to withstand environmental influence.

Enabling reuse of robot tasks and capabilities by business-related skills grounded in natural language
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Definition and reuse of robot instructions is still an art that requires extensive engineering, not only of the infrastructure but also of the adaptation of robot capabilities to the context and domain at hand. Technical approaches are numerous, but the lack of practical success is an indication of hidden difficulties, which we have experienced as complications over the last two decades. Based on recent insights we got the idea that it is insufficient to consider technical, economical, and human aspects separately; a new and more coherent type of integration is necessary. A key example is the notion of (robot) skills, which according to this idea should be defined such that the technical capabilities are encapsulated according to business values, and at the same time grounded in terms of knowledge such that human operation is facilitated.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In children with XLH, high circulating levels of FGF23 cause hypophosphatemia with consequent rickets, skeletal deformities, and growth impairment. Conventional therapy consists of multiple daily doses of oral phosphate and active vitamin D (Pi/D). Burosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGF23 indicated for the treatment of XLH.In the active-control study CL301 (NCT02915705), 61 children with XLH (1-12 years old) were randomized (1:1) to receive subcutaneous burosumab starting at 0.8 mg/kg every 2 weeks (Q2W) or Pi/D as prescribed by investigators. Eligibility criteria included a Total Rickets Severity Score (RSS) ≥2.0 and prior receipt of Pi/D. The primary endpoint was healing of rickets at Week 40 assessed by radiologists blinded to treatment using the Radiographic Global Impression of Change (RGI-C).At Week 40, burosumab significantly improved rickets compared with Pi/D (RGI-C global score least squares [LS] mean ± SE: +1.92 ± 0.11 vs +0.77 ± 0.11; p<0.0001). More subjects in the burosumab group had substantial healing (RGI-C ≥+2.0) at Week 40, compared with the Pi/D group (21/29, 72% vs 2/32, 6%; odds ratio of 39.1, p<0.0001). Additional evidence for improvement of rickets included decreased Total RSS (LS mean ± SE change, burosumab vs Pi/D: -2.04 ± 0.145 vs -0.71 ± 0.138; p<0.0001), decreased alkaline phosphatase (-131 ± 13 vs -35 ± 19; p<0.0001), and improved RGI-C lower limb deformity score (+0.62 ± 0.12 vs +0.21 ± 0.12; p=0.020). At Week 40, increases in serum phosphorous (p<0.0001) and TmP/GFR (p<0.0001) were significantly greater with burosumab compared with Pi/D. Standing height Z-score increased in both treatment groups from baseline to Week 40 with an LS mean change of +0.15 (95% CI: 0.05, 0.25) for burosumab and +0.08 (-0.02, 0.19) for Pi/D. Percent predicted distance walked in six minutes increased with burosumab (Baseline to Week 40: 62% to 72%) and was unchanged with Pi/D (76% to 75%). Pre-defined adverse events (AEs) of interest, including hypersensitivity and injection site reaction, were higher in the burosumab group, but were mild to moderate in severity overall, with no discontinuations. There were 4 serious AEs (3 burosumab, 1 Pi/D); none were treatment-related and all resolved.In this randomized Phase 3 clinical trial, burosumab Q2W re-sulted in significantly greater improvements in rickets and phosphate metabolism compared with conventional therapy in 1-12 year-old children with XLH.
